Each issue is traditionally edited by the organizers of the respective conference. The 9th International Symposium on Enchytraeidae was held at the Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institute (vTI) in Braunschweig, Germany, 14 to 16 July, 2010. In total, twenty participants from eight countries attended the symposium. During the first two days, nine oral and seven poster presentations were given and discussed. Afterwards, a microscopic workshop provided the opportunity for the participants to study interesting or unfamiliar specimens of enchytraeids, using and testing the new identification key on European enchytraeid species, and to discuss open questions in enchytraeid taxonomy. This workshop was supervised by Rüdiger M. Schmelz. The present Newsletter on Enchytraeidae No. 12 includes most of the scientific contributions that were presented at the 9th International Symposium on Enchytraeidae. These papers cover a wide range of basic and applied research on terrestrial enchytraeids, and they contribute valuable information to the knowledge of soil biodiversity. Additionally, this volume contains a list of currently accepted enchytraeid species, compiled by R.M. Schmelz and R. Collado. All papers included in this volume have been critically evaluated by two reviewers. We acknowledge the effort of all authors and reviewers to make these proceedings possible. The symposium was organized by Stefan Schrader and kindly hosted by the Institute of Biodiversity at the vTI. Special thanks are due to Sabine El Sayed, who did a lot of work behind the scene to make the symposium a comfortable one. The 10th International Symposium on Enchytraeidae will take place in Coimbra, Portugal, 13-14 August 2012, in association with the XVI International Colloquium of Soil Zoology.
